Mumford and Sons new single, wow
After listening to the song and reading the lyrics, I think the song is about God. Beautiful lyrics. This band is just such a breath of fresh air.

Re: Mumford and Sons new single, wow
I often have the same feeling about many of their songs. I often listen to them as I get ready for my day!

Re: Mumford and Sons new single, wow
"Hold on to what you believe" is another that really sticks out to me. In my interpretation it seems to be about someone who turned their back on their belief in God, but then realised their mistake. It's worth a listen.

I'd have to say I truely love every song I've heard by them so far, and thats not something that often happens. I also love how their lyrics have meaning. Plus they make the banjo sound cool, lol

 Honestly, one of my favorite bands right now and I can't stop listening to their first CD. It's just so great! And now I can't wait until their next CD is out. Er...I guess I will wait.

Yup, pretty much.
although I have to admit, they are definately not the only band I've heard that make the banjo sound good.

Re: Mumford and Sons new single, wow
I usually ignore most newer music. After this post, I'm checking them out. They are playing now on pandora for me.

Re: Mumford and Sons new single, wow
In the first song I listen to, they drop the "f-bomb." Is this OK?

Little Lion Man. This is the only song they do that in, and honestly, though I am not a fan of swearing in music, I think they managed to pull it off just right here. Its not for the sake of being crude, but rather it is meant to better express the emotions that are being felt by the narrator of the song. It actually really helps the song to capture more fully a particular aspect of mankinds existence. Swearing (not talking about blasphemy here) is not always wrong, its certainly usually crude, childish, and innapropriate, but it is not always sinful. To be honest, I really was, very surprised to find myself liking a song that included swearing of any kind, but somehow, in that song, it just fits.

Only song? And you're right...it does seem to portray a strong emotion.

At least on the album 'sigh no more', yes. There were a few other songs of theirs that I still haven't heard that were released before that album, so I guess there could be, but I kind of doubt it.

Re: Mumford and Sons new single, wow
I do quite like thier sound though. It's...raw. I like it. The Dropkick Murhpys too I've just discovered, though I'm sure they're much more vulgar. Haven't had a chance to find that out yet though.
